On October 5, the U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) announced an upcoming Program Executive Office Fixed Wing (PEO-FW) FANTOM Behavior Integration (A2E) Assessment Event (AE). Submissions are due no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern on November 5.
SOFWERX, in collaboration with USSOCOM PEO-FW, will host an Assessment Event to identify potential vendors to integrate existing or propose new autonomy behaviors into the government‑owned Framework of Autonomous Networked Tactical Open Modules (FANTOM) Autonomy Software using the provided FANTOM Core Software Development Kit (SDK). This event aims to accelerate capability insertion for multi‑platform, multi‑payload uncrewed systems operating within the Adaptive Airborne Enterprise (A2E) ecosystem.
A2E is an interoperable system-of-systems designed to enable robust Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities through expendable, autonomous Small Unmanned Aircraft System (sUAS) platforms, resilient data paths, and a common control architecture.
FANTOM is the complete autonomy software stack deployed across the A2E System-of-Systems. FANTOM Extensions are mature (high TRL) vendor add-ons integrated using the SDK. Insertion of specialized/new modular, SDK-driven autonomy behaviors is required to extend, mature, and rapidly integrate into the FANTOM ecosystem.
USSOCOM is soliciting industry solutions to support FANTOM’s scalable autonomy architecture enabling distributed, collaborative behaviors across Group 2-3 A2E Unmanned Systems (UxS) platforms.
